Where's Nancy
Here is a glaring omission in the campaign finance reports of Republican Salt Lake County District Attorney candidate Lohra Miller: She has received nothing from former Republican Salt Lake County Mayor Nancy Workman, who still has more than $100,000 in her campaign account that legally can only be spent on political campaigns.

Workman, you might recall, amassed an impressive campaign slush fund before she was forced to resign after Democratic District Attorney David Yocom filed felony misuse of public money charges against her. She eventually was acquitted of the charges in a jury trial.

What's interesting about her absence among Miller's contributors is that Miller is running against Sim Gill, who Yocom supported early on as his successor once Yocom chose not to run.

When Miller ran against Yocom four years ago, Workman gave Miller a measly $500, even though she had such a large fund herself. The irony is that if Workman had given Miller a few thousand dollars out of her slush fund, that might have turned the tide in a close election and Yocom would not have been around to prosecute Workman and force her out of office two years ago.

Could Workman be sitting on that slush fund, waiting for Yocom to leave office, perhaps, so she can use that cash for herself, without the fear of her old enemy trying to prosecute her for misuse of the campaign money?

Just a thought.

Cheers,
Paul Rolly

My head is still spinning ... this dream i had last night....about Matheson, the congressman with the evil eyes.

Anyway, he was at this church preaching about why we have to kill irakis and he was almost frothing at the mouth, with spit flying everywhere, and hunstman was slipping him little sacks of money....

and it became apparent that mathescum is really a neocon working in collaboration with goldjones to keep idealistic liberals so stupid that we support mathescum even though he represents everything we despise.

how does Goldjones do it ... i mean..... sway the entire idiot left (avenues and univ. quarter) to support scumbag war crimes collaborating non gitmo investigation b------ mathescum.

so in this dream .... i start looking around and the faces of all these long term salt lake movement "leaders" like ralph's pecker start morphing into greedy little pigs, actual pigs, and they started sexually grabbing the nearby women and shouting "we are more equal than you".

i started running to get away and i was so scared... and finally these old farmer type gram and gramps picked me up and then all their sons were there, in overalls, but really strong, agressive men with beards, and they went out and started smashing in the heads of the "morphing pig leaders" with plastic baseball bats ...... but the heads were empty except for oatmeal mush...and the old lady told me to never have another abortion, to support my husband in all things, to mother my children properly and not let lesbian teachers near them...and then i woke up in such a calm tranquil state.

I am not voting for mathescumj.
